My guess is using the bendy stuff... It also depends on the quality of the wire used...
In some cases the wire used to tie the figure to the package is sturdier than the wire used inside the bendy part... (MLV Reed Richards I'm looking at you!)

FINALLY!! GLIMMER IS IN MY SHELF!! Crita is coming... Now I NEED SONGSTER! The Awesometastic Bard!

I think we can pretty much count on Octavia sometime down the road, although we will probably see Scorpia first don't you think? It was said that one of the top priorities after securing Filmation rights would be to get these Horde females from the cartoon out. Personally I LOVE Octavia and will be thrilled when she is revealed. Let's hope it's sooner rather than later! Wouldn't mind her and Mermista being released back to back

Will Octavia have tentacle attachments similar to Slush Head?

With all the issues with bendy material, will everyone be OK with Octavia coming with tentacle attachments similar to Slush Head's? Or should Matty hold off until the bendy issue is resolved? I personally would sacrifice bendy articulation if it means getting Octavia sooner - but that's just me.

I'd like hard plastic tentacles with a few key points of unobtrusive articulation.

Maybe a ball-joint where they connect to her back, another at the mid-way point and another at the very end. As long as Mattel avoid using whatever they used for Snout Sprout - that is the most important thing.

I would be down with the multi ball joint idea, as long as it didn't mess up the sculpt.

Other then some type of tentacle articulation she must also be able to hold a sword or blaster rod with her tentacles, even if they just clip on.

I've been giving a lot of thought to this, and I really don't want them to go with tiny articulations all over the tentacles. That would make her tentacles look robotic, or like Scorpia's tail. Her tentacles should be sleek.

SO, what if they just snapped onto her back...but she came with SIX instead of four. They could all be pre-posed, to hold blasters, or just lay by her side...and they could turn from that main point of connection on her back. That way, if you want to pose her, her pop whatever tentacles you want in.

I think that would be a safe way to go. Don't get me wrong - I WANT them to be flexible - but I don't want them to be divided up into sections with little joints. That would ruin the visual for me. Her tentacles have to look organic...

Can't wait for Octavia (though I confess to wanting Scorpia slightly more)--Hordak needs someone to tangle with Mer-Man and Slushy! As far as her arms, I'm not too fussed on how they turn out, as long as we get her sooner rather than later. For durability's sake, something akin to what Slushy has might work best.
